Oh your GF is a keeper if her old man has a trailer.

Cheers Woodward! Yeah Ray said Stu had similar problem so I hit him up and he said to weld it. So that's what we did! Least mine only happened out the front of the house.

In my Tafe holidays they also let me clear out a garage at the GFs place to store tools, wheels and parts / work on the car (where I installed the air). Don't get Hayden started on how good I've got it and yes the trailer is a big bonus!

Yep heard all these problems before about MK3s on air ride - ask VDubin about his experiences too.

Yeah also contacted Reece when I contacted Stu. He had rigged up a bracket to stop the bag from spinning however it looked more complicated so just welded them up. Hopefully all the teething problems are in the past now. Drove about 250kms on the weekend for the show and friends houses seems to be ok. Don't want to jinx myself though.. Pretty poor though that after Reece and I have contacted Air Lift we haven't heard back from them and they haven't altered the product to fix the problem.

Yeah man it sucks - I'm going to go G.A.S when I eventually go bags. I figured if the Germans can make awesome cars then their air struts would be pretty awesome too.

I've never heard of them. Pretty much seemed that all I could find for the mk3 platform was the airlifts since bagyards don't make them anymore. Didn't even think twice about it until I had the problem and did a google stumbling across others with the same issue. I mean it's not the end of the world once welded they seem fine just would think the manufacturer should do that or work out a fix after the first few incidents as it's a bad product design. Good luck with the polo! Definitely research hard and over budget, I've spent more than I'd like to know...

G.A.S. - German Airride Systems

Seems I went straight past it on google. Managed to find the site although it's in German. I could make out it says closed for maintenance though. Will have to check back later and have a sticky beak
